Argo float observations of basin-scale deep convection in the Irminger sea during winter 2011-2012

Analysis of Argo data obtained during winter 2011–2012 revealed the presence over the Irminger Basin of an exceptionally large number of profiles (41) with mixed layer depths (MLD) exceeding 700 m, which was deep enough to reach the pool of the intermediate Labrador Sea Water located in the Irminger...
